train station. I've seen people get robbed at Shawmut. I saw an older gentleman get pushed up against a wall, and a gun in his face, when I was like 15. I was almost robbed over there when I was in High School. Some yungins tried to rob my dad a week ago, probably the same kids. Robberies always happen over there. Just be vigilant when it gets dark.

Shawmut has always been a lowkey bad spot so to speak. I hear lots of robberies over there and back in highschool couple oats was always talking about gettin robbed at shawmut cuz they would wait at the station or nearby. But I'm from fields corner. And there's different sides. Geneva ave side ill just get robbed shot or killed. Just like that. But Dorchester ave side where whites n asians be they get robbed for they valuables cuz they got em... Get robbed then bring it back to Geneva side . Just how it goes
